Upper estimate price exceeded by 61 %.
The work Czech A Collection Of 5 Works Illustrated By Her, 1940-1946, Comprising: by Toyen was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2014. It achieved a price of GBP 1,125.00 (€ 1,414.44), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 61%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Toyen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tu t'évapores dans un buisson de cris in October this year with an auction result of EUR 2,823,000.00.

Die Arbeit Czech A Collection Of 5 Works Illustrated By Her, 1940-1946, Comprising: von Toyen kam im November 2014 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.125,00 (€ 1.414,44) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 61%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Toyen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tu t'évapores dans un buisson de cris im Oktober diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 2.823.000,00.
